Fun with LEDs

When I lamented that the time change made it impossible to play disc golf after work, without blundering around in the dark, looking for lost discs and hard to see holes (the baskets), someone at the disc golf course mentioned that there are LED gadgets available, to light up both the disc and the hole. So, I got on Amazon and found them. Here's what they looked like, last night, when we tried them out. Coincidentally, I happened to get a hole-in-one on hole 3 - my first "one" in years! It was so cool, to watch the little blinking light on the disc fly through the air towards the well-lit hole, and then hear the chains, and see it fall into the basket. Very satisfying and fun.

In the first picture, we're preparing to putt into hole 1, which is off to the right, and is lit up with an amber LED downlight. That's my friend Jennefer off to the left, just in front of the house's window in the background, holding up her disc with the little green LED light taped to the inside. And my disc is lying on the grass in the foreground.

The second picture shows hole 3 up close, just after my hole-in-one. Woo-hoo! Some other players nearby, playing the home behind us, saw my throw, and congratulated me on my great accomplishment. That felt good, too. :-)
The cool little downlight has several LEDs in a circle on the bottom, and has some kind of wireless link to a small handheld remote control, which allowed me to turn it on and off, and select any one of a dozen different colors, or choose a mode where it changes to a new color every second or so.
